NO release mechanisms from NONOates and RSNOs. Primary release mechanisms of two major classes of NO donors, as described by Schmidt et al. (1997) and Nichols et al. (2012). Of note, in addition to releasing NO, RSNOs can also act through S-nitrosylation of protein thiols in tissues, a process called transnitrosation (Broniowska et al., 2013).
